Not being one to stay out of an argument, here's what I do. :-)
I publish kevin at voip.cursor.biz as my SIP address and also have
kevin at cursor.biz available via a SRV record. The "voip" host serves
two purposes:
1. The "voip" host alias (well, an A record actually) can point
to any server I like, so I can move Asterisk from one server
to another without having to publish a new SIP address.
2. The "voip" part makes it (reasonably) clear that it's a SIP
address and not an email address. (I know that one address
can be used for both, before someone points that out.) Perhaps
sip.cursor.biz would be clearer but I just prefer "voip"; It's
less specific, so can be used to cover IAX too.
I do have SRV records, but I don't publish SIP addresses using domains
based upon them. Perhaps I will one day.
